The book "Pile Foundations. T.1 Technologies and Calculations" is the first volume of a modern and comprehensive guide to pile foundations. Piles are used for the foundation of building structures and are longitudinal structural elements made of various materials such as wood, concrete, reinforced concrete, and cement soil. Their main task is to transfer loads to deeper soil layers, which ensures the stability and safety of the structure.

In the first volume of the guide, the general characteristics of pile foundations, methods of pile execution, and methods of determining forces in piles are presented. The author discusses in detail the methods for calculating the load-bearing capacity of piles and analyzes the settlement of piles and pile foundations. The book is richly illustrated with examples of currently used pile execution technologies, which facilitates the understanding of the discussed issues. Numerous references to Eurocode 7 are supported by the author's own experiences and practical observations, which makes it extremely valuable for practitioners.

This guide is intended for students of civil engineering, architecture, and environmental engineering. It will also be useful for engineers working in design offices and in the execution of pile works, as well as for construction supervision employees. Thanks to the comprehensive approach to the topic, the book is an indispensable source of knowledge for all those interested in pile foundations.
